"This booklet is not easily defined…since it is illustrated in two different styles as if by two different artists. The three first illustrations are airy. The brightness and gentleness with which the orange and green colors are treated as well as the gentle animals and the goat wearing glasses are, maybe, typical of Moshe Motzlmacher. Compared with the other illustrations were the color palette consists of red-purple and blue, the composition is heavy with lines in black and resembling Apter's style. It is, therefore, possible that the booklet was illustrated by both artists". (From: Ayala Gordon, Hebrew Illustrations, Nahum Gutman Museum, Tel-Aviv, [2005], p.108).

"In April 1919 Benzion Raskin and Eliezer Lissitzky signed a contract with 'Yidisher Folks verlag' in Kiev, probably due to financial problems. According to this contract they were obliged to sell the copyrights of eleven children's books…for some reason only three of them have been published in Yiddish as planned. However, three years later a series of books for infants in Hebrew has been published in Warsaw…The series called 'Zil Zlil', included five books…out of the five booklets, only one, 'The Miller, the Milleress and the Millstones, was translated into Hebrew, and the illustrations were copied from the illustrations created by Lissitzky for the Yiddish books…there is something too slim in those illustrations as if they were done hastily.
The reason might have been that there was a need to produce many books in a short period of time. It is possible, on the other hand, that Lissitzky limited himself to minimal lines on purpose, similar to the way children draw. At that period it was common amongst the modern artists to believe that a child's art reflects a primary concept of the world, and many artists were inspired by this art".
